US President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "butcher". The statement was made after a visit to Ukrainian refugees in Warsaw. This is reported by CNN.
When asked by reporters what made him think of refugees when he deals with Putin every day, Biden replied, "He's a butcher."
During a brief question-and-answer session at People's Stadium, Biden described how he has been to similar places in his life, but said he is always amazed by "the depth and strength of the human spirit."
"It's incredible, it's unbelievable. I see all these little kids. I just want to hug them, I just want to say thank you," he said.
He added: "Every one of these kids said something like, 'Pray for my dad or my grandpa or my brother who's fighting.' And I remember what it's like to have someone in a combat zone. Every morning you get up and you wonder. You just wonder. And you pray you don't get a phone call."
